The pictures tell the story. This cover looks like it was either caught in a machine which deposited fresh rubber into the torn-apart section of the envelope, or was run over by a lift-truck, which did the same. The stamp was in a mount, placed inside a glassine, which was taped in between 2 pieces of heavy card. In spite of the damage caused by the USPS, the stamp survived unscathed.
